DC’s October Green Lantern Event, “Godhead”

Green Lanterns to take on the New Gods

When the Green Lantern Corps and what was left of the rest of the emotional spectrum defeated Relic back in Green Lantern Annual #2 Kyle Rayner made a round trip through The Source Wall and everyone knew it was only a matter of time before the repercussions of that would be felt in the Green Lantern universe.

Today Nerdist.com got the exclusive announcement of Godhead, a month long event that runs through the Green Lantern titles plus a one shot to kick off the story. Godhead introduces us to the New 52 version of the New Gods and they want to stake a claim to the emotional spectrum in order to breach The Source Wall and learn the secrets that Highfather thinks holds the answers to defeating Darkseid. Not only did today bring the announcement of Godhead, but the solicitation information for the six issue event.
